We skipped the light fandango
F Am/E Dm Dm/C
And turned cartwheels across the floor
G G/F Em G7
I was feeling kind of seasick
C Em/B Am C/G
But the crowd called out for more
F Am/E Dm Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G G/F Em G7
As the ceiling flew away
C Em/B Am C/G
When we called out for another drink
F Am/E Dm
The waiter brought a tray
C Em/B Am C/G
And so it was that later
F Am/E Dm Dm/C
As the miller told his tale
G G/F Em
That her face at first just ghostly
G7 C F C G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
C Em/B Am C/G
She said "There is no reason,
F Am/E Dm Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see",
G G/F Em G7
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Em/B Am C/G
And would not let her be
F Am/E Dm Dm/C
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G G/F Em G7
Who were leaving for the coast
C Em/B Am C/G
And although my eyes were open
F Am/E Dm
They might just as well have been closed
